Engine exhaust



May 16, 1933- H. T. BOOTH ENGINE EXHAUST Filed April 29, 1931 5/5 jhformax Patented May 16, 1933 HARRY T. BOOTH, OF IEREEPORT, NEW YORK ENGINE EXHAUST Application filed April 29,

This invention relates to power driven machines, and has for its object to provide an improved mounting for the exhaust of the engine driving the machine.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following descriptiomreference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein the preferred form of embodiment of the invention is clearly shown.

The figure shows a side elevation of a car or fuselage with a part thereof broken away displaying the mounting of the engine and its exhaust.

The invention is constructed and operated substantially and preferably as follows:

1 is the car or fuselage or place for accommodating or mounting the engine 2 held by a bracket 3 on step board 4; 5 is the flywheel and 6 the driving shaft leading to the propulsive means of the craft. 7 is the muifler, 8 the exhaust pipe, and 9 the portion of the said pipe which projects above the deck 10 of the boat shaped fuselage 1 and which is mounted substantially along the longitudinal center line of the same.

As shown the exhaust is brought to the rear of the seat and steering wheel 16 so that by no possibility can the exhaust gases trouble the operator.

As my invention is in some of its aspects generic, I do not limit myself to the particular construction shown and described, but also contemplate the employment of such equivalents as fairly fall within the scope of the claims.

In this connection I may say that while the car as shown is in the form of a flying boat for use on the water, the same or similar mounting of the exhaust can be used on a land flying machine or on a motor boat for water purposes; and while the engine shown is one having a vertical crank shaft and a vertical driving shaft 6, any other well known engine or driving shaft may be used.

Therefore it should be understood that I may make various changes in the form, proportion, size and detail of the several parts shown, as well as the number and position 1931. Serial No. 533,867.

of certain elements used, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim: I

A boat body for a flying machine, comprising a hydroplaning portion, an after portion, a step between the hydroplane and after portions, a step board, a bracket mounted directly above the step board, a motor mounted directly above the bracket, a flywheel mounted above the motor, a vertical shaft mounted above the flywheel and projecting above the boat body, and an exhaust pipe running from the motor and also projecting above the boat body.

2. A boat body for a flying machine, comprising a hydroplaning portion, an after portion, a step between the hydroplane and after portions, a step board, a bracket mounted directly above the step board, a motor mounted directly above the bracket, a fly- 79 wheel mounted above the motor, a vertical shaft mounted above the flywheel and projecting above the boat body, and an exhaust pipe running from the motorand also projet-ting above the boat body and longitudinally in line with the vertical shaft.
